Jetliner makes emergency landing in Ottawa

A charter flight to Cuba with 170 passengers onboard made an emergency landing at the Ottawa airport on Friday shortly after taking off, an official told AFP.

The Sunwing flight was en route to Varadero, Cuba. It left the Canadian capital at 6:32 a.m. local time (1032 GMT) but abruptly turned around 20 minutes later, said Krista Kealey, a spokeswoman for the Ottawa airport.
